If you just look at the two notebooks for the first time, they seem to be very similar. Comparable screens, almost identical connectivity, and even similar prices when you get the same components and warranty periods.
Lenovo clearly has an advantage when you look at the size and especially the weight of the new case. Little more than 900 grams is an impressive figure, but we still have to see if it affects the stability. The MacBook Air on the other hand is heavier, but you just know that you get a very solid laptop in return.
The displays are also very comparable, because after years of 16:9 screens, the ThinkPad X1 Nano is finally back with a 16:10 panel. Lenovo's screen is matte, slightly brighter, supports HDR, and is also available as a touchscreen, while Apple offers more pixels and wider P3 color gamut.
The connectivity is also similar, even though the ThinkPad has the edge with Thunderbolt 4, faster Wi-Fi, and optional LTE or even 5G modules.
The big difference is the processor, even though we are not comparing Lenovo and Apple, but Intel and Apple. The X1 nano is one of the first laptops with Tiger Lake UP chips. they consume less power (7-15W) and compete directly with Apple's M1 processor if you look at the power consumption. We have no benchmark results for the UP4 CPUs, but all the values we have for faster Tiger Lake chips suggest that Apple's M1 processor is much faster and can still be cooled passively at the same time. We also don't expect the ThinkPad X1 Nano to last as long as the MacBook Air M1 on battery power.
Both devices have their own respective advantages and disadvantages, but the big thing is the performance. The superior M1 chip and the passive cooling setup are major arguments for the MacBook Air M1.
